The Flames only released details on the building and examples of what the surrounding density could look like. All of those details are for the city to determine. For example, KK specifically mentioned that they are not proposing to move any roads here... but, if the City wanted to then I am sure the Flames would have no problem with that. It wouldn't make sense for the Flames to release an official proposed design because it isn't even up to them how the city want's to design and integrate things like Bow Trail, the train, pedestrian bridges, the river, and the surrounding neighborhoods. These are still completely undecided and need a ton of analysis. That's why it's not even "half-baked", the flames are just proposing a place to do the dam baking!
